Chapter 789: Deserted by Friends

Ye Linglong was in a state of confusion. The content of this letter was so shocking that she had to tell Gu Jiuchen. Taking advantage of the darkness, she sneaked out of Siguo Cliff, ran all the way, and finally returned to Tianxian Peak.

&34;Jiuchen! &34;Ye Linglong opened the door, only to find that there was no one in the room.

&34;Linglong, why did you come out? &34;A familiar voice came from behind.

Ye Linglong turned around and saw Elder Li standing at the door with worry on his face.

&34;Elder Li, I found some clues, I must see Jiuchen immediately! &34;Ye Linglong said eagerly.

Elder Li sighed, "Hey, the sect master is him"

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Linglong had already passed by him and headed straight for the meeting hall.

In the meeting hall, Gu Jiuchen was discussing with several elders the invasion of the demon sect. Suddenly, the door was pushed open violently, and Ye Linglong's figure appeared at the door.

&34;Linglong? &34;When Gu Jiuchen saw Ye Linglong, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, but it was quickly replaced by worry, &34;Why are you here? your injury"

&34;Jiuchen, look at this! &34;Ye Linglong didn't care about the explanation and handed the letter to Gu Jiuchen.

Gu Jiuchen took the letter and read it carefully. His face became increasingly ugly, and the fingers holding the letter trembled slightly from exertion.

&34;Is this Zhao Wuji’s handwriting? &34;Gu Jiuchen looked at Ye Linglong in disbelief.

&34;Yes, this letter was written by him himself. He admitted that he colluded with the Black Demon Cult and planned to frame me! &34;Ye Linglong said through gritted teeth.

Gu Jiuchen closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and opened his eyes after a long time. A trace of determination flashed in his eyes, "I'm going to expose his true face!" &34;

Gu Jiuchen stood up abruptly, his sleeves turned over the tea cup on the table, and the tea spilled out, but he didn't care at all, all he could think about was how to expose Zhao Wuji's conspiracy to the public. He walked quickly to the door, but was held back by Ye Linglong.

"Jiuchen, now is not the time." Ye Linglong said calmly, "Since Zhao Wuji dares to do this, he must be prepared. If we act rashly now, we will only alert the enemy."

Gu Jiuchen took a deep breath and tried to calm down. Ye Linglong was right, he couldn't be impulsive now.

"Then what should we do?" Gu Jiuchen looked at Ye Linglong, his eyes full of anxiety.

"Let's wait and see what happens, secretly collect evidence, and when the time is right, we will make Zhao Wuji's true face known to the public." Ye Linglong analyzed calmly.

Gu Jiuchen nodded, Ye Linglong's calmness made him feel at ease. The two returned to the room and began to discuss countermeasures.

However, what they don't know is that danger is approaching quietly.

Zhao Wuji was sitting in the study at the moment, his face terrifyingly gloomy. He had just received news that Ye Linglong had left Siguo Cliff and had also gone to the meeting hall.

"Damn it!" Zhao Wuji slammed the table, furious.

He knew that Ye Linglong must have discovered something, otherwise it would not be so abnormal. Thinking of this, a strong uneasiness suddenly arose in his heart.

"No, I can't sit still and wait for death!" Zhao Wuji's eyes flashed with fierceness, "We must act before Gu Jiuchen!"

He immediately summoned his confidants and began secret planning.

At the same time, Zhao Ling'er was also upset about this matter. She knew that her brother had always disliked Gu Jiuchen, but she never expected that her brother would do such a crazy thing.

She wanted to tell Gu Jiuchen the truth, but she was afraid that her brother would be hurt. With family affection on one side and justice on the other, Zhao Ling'er was caught in a dilemma.

"No, I can't hesitate any longer!" Zhao Ling'er finally made a decision. She wanted to stand on the side of justice and expose her brother's conspiracy!

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong stood side by side in front of the meeting hall, looking at the dark crowd in front of them with mixed feelings in their hearts. Zhao Wuji stood at the front of the crowd, with a sinister smile on his face.

"Gu Jiuchen, you colluded with the Demon Cult and harmed your fellow disciples. The evidence is conclusive. Do you still want to quibble now?" Zhao Wuji pointed at Gu Jiuchen and said loudly.

Before Gu Jiuchen could speak, the crowd burst into roars: "Down with Gu Jiuchen and give me justice!" "Gu Jiuchen's crime is so heinous that everyone must punish him!"

Gu Jiuchen's heart was filled with sadness when he saw that his classmates who were brothers to him in the past were now shouting at him like they were possessed by a demon. He wanted to explain, but was drowned in the deafening roar.

"Jiuchen, don't waste your breath." Ye Linglong held Gu Jiuchen's hand and said calmly, "Zhao Wuji has planned it for a long time. No one will believe what we say now."

Gu Jiuchen looked at Ye Linglong's firm eyes, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart. Even if the whole world betrays him, at least Ye Linglong is still standing by his side.

"Okay, since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for being rude!" Zhao Wuji gave the order, and the disciples behind him swarmed up, surrounding Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong.

At this critical moment, an old voice sounded from the crowd: "Stop!"

The crowd parted automatically, and Elder Li was seen walking over quickly with dozens of disciples. Elder Li walked up to Gu Jiuchen and bowed deeply: "Sect Master, I'm late."

"Elder Li, what do you mean?" Zhao Wuji's face darkened and he asked sternly.

"I have followed the Sect Master for many years, and I know the Sect Master's character very well." Elder Li looked directly at Zhao Wuji and said righteously, "I believe the Sect Master was framed. Even if I risk my life today, I will protect the Sect Master's safety!"

"Okay, what a loyal Elder Li!" Zhao Wuji laughed in anger, "Since you want to die, I will fulfill your wish!"

As soon as the voice fell, a melee broke out in front of the meeting hall. Although Zhao Wuji brought a large number of disciples, Elder Li brought the elite of the Tianxian Sect, and the two sides fought evenly for a while.

Just when the battle was in a stalemate, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky and landed in the center of the battlefield.

"The Black Demon Sect Master!" Everyone exclaimed, stopped their hands, and looked at the uninvited guest vigilantly.

The Black Demon Sect Master looked around, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. What is the purpose of his trip? How will this melee change because of his arrival?

The Black Demon Cult leader slowly glanced at the people present, and finally his eyes fell on Gu Jiuchen, with a meaningful smile on his lips. "Master Gu, how are you?" His voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell.

Gu Jiuchen's heart sank. He had heard of the Black Demon Cult leader's fierce reputation a long time ago. Seeing him today, he was indeed worthy of his reputation. This man was dressed in a black robe, his face was hidden under the hood, and only a pair of cold eyes were exposed, which made people shudder.

Before Gu Jiuchen could speak, the Black Demon Cult leader suddenly made a move. He raised his right hand slightly, and a strong suction force appeared out of thin air. Elder Li and others had no time to react, and were sucked in front of him by this suction force.

"Elder Li!" Gu Jiuchen was shocked and wanted to step forward to rescue, but was repelled by the Black Demon Cult leader's palm.

"You think you can fight me?" The Black Demon Cult leader snorted coldly and clenched his five fingers. Elder Li and others suddenly felt a tightness in their chests, and blood spurted out. Their bodies fell limply to the ground.
